    I wanted to follow up with you when I saw this question. Is your sink painted and it is cracked or is it a porcelain sink that is cracked?


    a cracked sink could be from something falling into years ago and hot and cold water cause it to swell and shrink which makes it crack and those cracks become more cracks until the sink leaks.


    ‘’If it is just a sink that was painted and the paint is cracked, I would sand down the cracks and then wipe it down with some alcohol and then re paint the sink and be sure that it has enough time to cure / dry before anyone uses it.

      One more thing, be sure to use the correct paint. They make kits for this. You can also find touch up kits which costs much less. I’m not sure how much cracking you have so this is the best I can tell you unless you want to send a photo?

    You would use Homex or Rustoleum Tub & Tile epoxy paint to repaint it after removing the old paint..... I would use a stripper like Kleen Strip.
